I tried buying a Coils O'Doom. The seller is still on ebay and actually has responded to a couple inquiries of mine, but the tracking hasn't moved since 3/27 and the estimated shipping arrival is Ap 25-June 13, so sadly I have to wait another two months to file a claim, I guess. Was worth a shot. Not a figure I cared enough to pay Club prices for, but for $25 it was worth the try.
I've bought several figures from China before without an issue, but this was the first time it was a pre-order, or something just coming out. Usually it's for older figures. If something looks too good to be true.... Something something about half the battle.

I just got refunded for my SF Viper pre order from seller: kghg66yshao.
eBay put this comment in with their refund decision: Comments: We didn't receive valid tracking information from the seller. We're sorry you had a problem with your purchase, and we're issuing you a refund for this case.

that video always cracked me up because none of their gear sounds like the gear on the record.

Well i went head and cancelled. I noticed there was a lot more buyer beware negative feedback on sellers profile too. Still doesnt make sence. I mean if im running a international ebay scam, im sure as hell doing a lot better than coils of doom lol i mean if it was all bs to get people to buy then why not a fake fss law n order or a more expensive popular figure? Be pretty funny if we all start getting china joes in june

But when this much time has passed since "shipping" with no valid tracking, and when your seller is no longer registered? Ehhhh... That's time to bail out for me. This isn't my first rodeo with Chinese or Hong Kong sellers so I'm not unusually timid either. I still give it a 10% chance that the sellers used some SUPER slow-boat economy shipping service and some product might yet show up in the next few weeks. But really, that means I am 90% sure these sellers were full of crap.

I had similar thoughts. Also, why only list one or two at a time? Why only offer certain select figures from the assortment rather than listing each and every one of them? Why not offer complete sets? Some oddball things like this made me think there was some chance it would pan out. It seemed to give some possibility that there were a few QC rejects or spares or something laying around that someone was moving out the back dock maybe.
